Photography Randomness 1 - El Paso - I miss you !!

So here is some randomness of photography cliques!!

These pictures are from my trip to El Paso a couple years back. One of the days the weather was awesome and me and my friend(S) with our kids decided to go for a scenic drive. These are the results of the long drive and some pictures are from my friends backyard.

Photography Randomness

I am not even close to a pro photographer but I love taking pictures. I especially love taking pictures of nature - anything from trees, clouds, thunder, snow, rain, fog .. just about anything.

It has been so obvious that now even my 3 year old says "Mama , Take a picture" whenever she is doing something different, silly, or funny.

So soon you will be seeing here some randomness of photography cliques!!

Enjoy!

My first mosaic project - 1

The inspiration for my first mosaic project is this beautiful Sun Mosaic 

My project is based on it but not an exact copy. I will be making a few changes here and there.
